I get a lot of parts from Paddocks, island4x4 and lrs offroad. They seem to be about the cheapest.

Amazingly we have four Safaris in my local landy club! One is being broken though sadly - the usual rust issues. Its very strange that in the same production run we have some vehicles that have minimal rust, and one that is terminal... It'd be interesting to see how many Safaris are left...

As has been pointed out, you can't use LPG alone on a diesel engine - the hybrid LPG/diesel conversion is used to up the engine power output to petrol engine levels rather than to get better MPG. Its expensive, and not many companies will touch it as its still a comparatively risky option. If...

Well I finally had a free day which coincided with some decent weather, so I managed to get the sunroof out, cleaned up, resealed and refitted. It took the best part of a full day as I meticulously cleaned it all with white spirit and then used copious amounts of sikaflex to seal it all with...

I've just taken off a pair of genuine LR orange ones if thats what you're after? They're only around £12 each new on ebay so not sure its worth buying a used pair...???

Love that Rover steering wheel - is it a straight swap? (sorry to digress off topic). If so, that'll be on my to-do list :D

Cool. Thats a good price too - I paid £102ea for mine in 245, so thats a great price :) Be good to see some pics when you have them fitted! Cheers, AF

Not quite what you're asking, but I've just fitted some Cooper ST-Maxx on my D1 and they're excellent - surprisingly quiet and handle fine on the road. Haven't been offroad in them yet sadly. Might be another option for you? These are 245/75x16 on std suspension, so ignore the size relative...

What colour is your interior? I'm after a grey carpet set (boot all the way to the engine bulkhead) plus the two front upright plastic footwell kick panels that go under the A pillars... Cheers AF

Avoid cheap oil filters, stick with reputable brands and you'll be fine - no need to stick to LR branded IMHO. I use MANN, but MAHLE is also supposed to be pretty good.

I believe they are the same, its the manifolds and air filter that differ. 90% sure, but better get confirmation before buying one ;)

Have a look at Advanced Radiators: Buy Car Radiators & Car Heaters Online Today! They're Hella etc distributors and have given me a great price and fast delivery service for my cars in the past. They do list LR radiators so that'd be my first port of call for a quote.

I've owned a Td5 and a 300Tdi back to back and I have to say there was a huge leap forward in refinement when they brought out the Td5. However, while the engine is as tough as a Tdi, there are quite a few issues that need to be addressed to make it reliable. The injector loom leaks engine oil...

Easy enough to strip the seat down - look at this Exmoor Trim video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDyG5VUGTdo I'd look for some decent seats and swap the covers over if the foam is ok. The bases are the easiest bits, no hassle.

Is it the plastic clips you're after? Like these - LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 1 & 2 HEADLIGHT HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT ASSEMBLY KIT (X3) CLIPS | eBay

Managed to get a few pics when I got home last night. Excuse the quality, it was darker than it seems... Nice clean dashboard... And a quick shot of the headliner free roof and another shot of those Rangie Classic seats Still no carpet, but that won't go in until I sort out the sunroof...

Well its been a while since I posted any updates - so long that the pics have gone lol. I'll try and dig them out and re-post them later :) Anyway, the D2 went over a year ago, you might see it at Parkwood (Tong) - its the kinversand bronze one being used by Rebbecca up there. I probably...

+1 nice job! Looks stronger than LandRovers weak spindly plastic effort!

Thats what I'm running in my D1 as my main battery. I'll be getting another for the secondary when I get my arse into gear - got all the wiring and relays etc from my previous Td5 installation which I removed when I sold the old girl. Its been a great battery for me, but I don't have a winch...

Mines a '98 'S' so should be the same... the wheel is still off so I'll count the splines tomorrow for you - I don't know offhand :)
